Do a "q vol f=d" and check the "Access" field on your disk volumes. They should all be "ReadWrite". If they are "ReadOnly" then this would explain why TSM isn't writing to them and telling you the storage pool is full even though at first glance it appears it isn't.
TSM can change the access automatically to "ReadOnly" or even something else if an event occurs the warrents it. E.g. if TSM loses access to the filesystem It's likely to mark all the volumes on that filesystem to "unavailable". There are also cases where it'll change it to some of the other values. To see why it did so you have to scan through the activity log (e.g. do a "q act begind=today-7 search=sp1" or something similar). The other possibility is the max size threshold which someone else mentioned. Also, although remote, check the stgpool access parameter (q stg f=d) to ensure it's readwrite.

I recently tried to backup a new node I created and got this error - ANS1329S Server out of data storage space Now, the server only has an 80GB partition for data storage at the moment. That is split into 7 10GB files and one 4GB. The 4GB is 95% full but the others are around 30 - 40% full. Storage pool info -- STORAGE DISK 76,480.0 41.7 41.7 90 70 X:\SERVER1\SP1 STORAGE DISK 10,240.0 34.2 On-Line X:\SERVER1\SP2 STORAGE DISK 10,240.0 41.0 On-Line X:\SERVER1\SP3 STORAGE DISK 10,240.0 37.8 On-Line X:\SERVER1\SP4 STORAGE DISK 10,240.0 34.0 On-Line X:\SERVER1\SP5 STORAGE DISK 10,240.0 31.4 On-Line X:\SERVER1\SP6 STORAGE DISK 10,240.0 39.0 On-Line X:\SERVER1\SP7 STORAGE DISK 10,240.0 49.1 On-Line X:\SERVER1\SP8 STORAGE DISK 4,800.0 96.4 On-Line Why would I get this error if there is more than enough room for a backup? I'm new to TSM administration so maybe I'm missing something. sim And keep in mind it could be something REALLY stupid that I just forgot about.
